This is the question put to me by another camper at Malvern. Usually I would say something positive as it's a site we usually enjoy. Did you know that trade vehicles are allowed there now?  A dog tied to a tree all day barking, that seems to be okay now aswell. The worse thing is the grass cutting , all day and every day , We cancelled a booking for later in the year at Malvern. 

A couple of weeks earlier we went to Hillhead in Brixham, no fault of their's but that was when the cryptosporidium breakout occurred. The staff were very good , getting bottles  of water to us.  BTW they seem to have their grass cutting well organised, perhaps Malvern could learn from them. Anyway we're off again soon , let's hope things improve for us .

We've done 8 outings so far this year..... a mixture of CAMC and other sites....  probably a bit down on previous years, and always managed to avoid the grass cutting... 

Castleton CAMC (January)
Ludlow Caravan Park - AS (January)
Devizes CCC (February) 
Skegness Sands AS (February) 
Putts Corner CAMC (April) 
Elm Cottage Touring Park, Cheshire (April) 
Conkers (May)
Putts Corner CAMC (May)

Struggling to find dates this month (we struggled in March too....), but hope to get out once this month, before our extended summer 'tour'...  Our viits to Putts Corner coincide with visiting our youngest daughter in Exeter.  We stayed at Elm Cottage when we had the E & P levelling system fitted to the caravan....

I've got Hawes on my wish list, but don't know when we'll get up that far for a short stay.  More realisic, for us, might be Stamford, for a short stay (I think folks used to call it 'Top Lodge'... or perhaps I'm confusing it with elsewhere)....

We stayed at West Ayton a few years ago, TTDA, but last year we decided on Cayton Village... quite a big site, but we quite liked it (mid-week, out of holiday time).  I imagine Cayton could get really busy at times.

This year we're back to Bridlington on the way back from the 'East Scottish leg' of our summer break...  However our visit to our eldest daughter, later on in the summer will be without the caravan... don't fancy taking the caravan to the Outer Hebrides!!!
